A fine collaboration, with a slow stately, sub-aquatic swimmy feel. BOO RADLEYS: RIDE THE TIGER The weakest sjngli from the C'mon Kids LP — the Bowie-isque guitar doesn't make up for the weedy tune. Good B-side though. BABY BIRD: CANDY GIRL Great vjtsj, fine words, dull chorus. A hit, but nowhere near as infectious as You're Gorgeous. ———————— soundbite@bbc.co.uk —————————— CBBC 500 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 The Biz 557 FrontPage 100 Film96 542 Top 40 Comp Film 97 Main MenuP564 CEEFAX 2 564 Mon 20 Jan 03:15/34 RADIO 2/4 SOUNDBITE R1's Music Magazine AUDIOWEB: BANK ROBBER Why covet a Clash song? AudioWjb are better than this. EAST 17: HEY CHILD Beautifully lush but severely lacking in character. No obvious drug references, though. REEF: COME BACK BRIGHTER Gritty and well-sung Brit rock, though not as catchy as their hit Place Your Hands. WINK: ARE YOU THERE Anothjt bliepz crossover hit for the techno titan. ———————— soundbite@bbc.co.uk —————————— CBBC 500 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 The Biz 557 FrontPage 100 Film96 542 Top 40 Comp Film 97 Main MenuP564 CEEFAX 2 564 Mon 20 Jan 00:50/22 RADIO 3/4 SOUNDBITE R1's Music Magazine DAVID BOWIE: LITTLE WONDER Bowie goes jungle. And why not? The problem is, his Mockney vocal comes across all bored rather than coolly disinterested. But how many othjt stars are making such interesting music 30 years into their career? Good remixes too. BETH ORTON: TOUCH ME WITH YOUR LOVE Second single from the Joni Mitchell of trip-hop is blessed with a top tune. ———————— soundbite@bbc.co.uk —————————— CBBC 500 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 The Biz 557 FrontPage 100 Film96 542 Top 40 Comp Film 97 Main MenuP564 CEEFAX 2 564 Mon 20 Jan 00:51/22 RADIO 4/4 SOUNDBITE R1's Music Magazine CURTIS MAYFIELD: NEW WORLD ORDER Curtis is one of the great names of soul, and this is his first LP since being paralysed in a stage accident in 1990. The voice is still sweet, the words still thoughtful, and the songs are good. Aretha Franklin, Mavis Staples, and Narada Michael Walden all help out. This is a triumph for the man, and a treat for the listener. A happy ending. ———————— soundbite@bbc.co.uk —————————— CBBC 500 Pop Quiz 562 Top 40 565 The Biz 557 FrontPage 100 Film96 542 Top 40 Comp Film 97 Main Menu
